      Information and Smaland Co-Worker Interview

      11 Mar 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      West Covina, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IKEA (West Covina, CA) in Jan 2015

      Interview

      Applied online. Had a phone screen 1.5 weeks later. Invited for an in-person interview after the phone screen. I thought the in-person interview went well. I believe it was with the Interviewing Manager. She was pretty cordial and I enjoyed chatting with her. She had a packet of questions and stuck to it for the most part. I didn't get an offer, which I believed was because the position was PT and didn't offer many hours-- and since I don't live close to the location, it wasn't worth the time/opportunity cost. Guess she was just looking out for me, or so I'd like to think. The only negative aspect was that I had to fill out another lengthly application when I went in for the interview. You'd think in such large companies applicant information is readily available in their systems after your initial online application.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why IKEA? Are you comfortable with children? Are you willing to also work as a cashier if needed? Are you willing to stand for long periods of time? Tell me about a time when you had a disagreement with a co-worker/teammate/colleague. What do you expect from your co-workers? And Supervisor? Tell me about a time when you had to work on a team. Where do you see yourself in 5/10 years? What is your ultimate career goal? (What field are you interested in?) How long do you plan on staying with IKEA?
